Yellow Dance Notation 4

The Story Behind the Artwork
All the Yellow Dance Notation artworks come from one vessel, Carpaccio, that has a bright yellow mast cover. It is moored in such a perfect position on Middle Harbour, Sydney Australia, that when the sun shines directly onto the vessel, new moving, dancing reflections are constantly being created. The beauty of this environment is that the confluence of weather conditions and the sun keep throwing up these glorious dancing moments as I kayak past.
Making the Artwork
Ralph Kerle creates his abstract artworks from real reflections found on the surface of water. Working from a kayak at water level, he photographs the constantly changing interaction of light, colour, movement and reflected forms.
The compositions are discovered rather than constructed. There is no compositing of separate images: the abstraction exists momentarily on the surface of the water and is captured through timing, position and movement.
This process has developed into a distinctive body of work in which the camera becomes less a documentary instrument and more a way of painting with reflected light.
